Chapter 1801: Second Abyssal Level, Spirit Sovereign! (1/2)
Wasn't it supposed to be the case that no one was able to reach the Divine Origin realm in the human world? What was going on here?
The catalyst behind the mobilization of the Blood River Godslayer Array was his arrival. In the abyssal plane, he was the ruler of the second abyssal level, which placed him below only the Holy Lord in the entire plane.
He was revered as the Spirit Sovereign by all abyssal creatures.
In all 108 levels of the abyss, only three were occupied by only a single being each, and those were the top three levels.
These three beings reigned supreme in their respective levels, and they were referred to as the Three Abyssal Saints.
Of course, the Holy Lord's authority was unmatched, and right below him was the Spirit Sovereign, who wasn't even just a quasigod anymore; he already had one foot in the realm of godhood.
If it weren't for the fact that the current abyssal plane couldn't contain so many godly beings, he would've already become a god.
He was even more eager than the Holy Lord for the abyssal plane to devour the Douluo Plane as even just a portion of the Douluo Plane's life energy would allow him to transcend to godhood.
Due to the fact that he already had one foot in the door, he knew exactly what changes would take place once he became a god.
He was the Holy Lord's right-hand man, and during the Holy Lord's stints of seclusion, he was the one overseeing the entire abyssal plane.
As such, it was completely unexpected for a powerful being of his caliber to encounter a worthy opponent as soon as he arrived on the Douluo Plane.
Gu Yuena also had a grim look in her eyes as she looked up into the sky. If it weren't for the fact that she was restricted by the plane, the Spirit Sovereign would be no match for her, but the restrictions imposed upon her by the plane prevented her from returning to her full power, which meant that she didn't have absolute confidence in her ability to defeat this opponent.
Furthermore, the four beings accompanying the Spirit Sovereign were also giving off extremely powerful auras. The Hornet Sovereign wasn't among them, and even the Black Sovereign was standing at the very edge of the group, which was an indication that the five of them were all abyssal sovereigns that ranked above the Black Sovereign!
It was very likely that all of the most powerful beings of the abyssal plane aside from the Holy Lord had already arrived on the Douluo Continent, and that was completely different from the situation that had transpired 6,000 years ago.
This had undoubtedly been caused by the Blood River Godslayer Array. The array posed a massive threat to the human army, and even without it, it would be a very difficult task for the human army to oppose such a formidable abyssal army.
”How interesting. I must say, it's quite a refreshing feeling to encounter a worthy foe. Once I devour your power, I may be able to reach that level even before this plane is devoured.” Following a brief period of astonishment, the Spirit Sovereign's eyes were now filled with excitement.
”Why don't you try me?” Gu Yuena challenged in a cold voice.
”Sure!” the Spirit Sovereign said with a smile, and Gu Yuena was struck by the feeling that she was looking at Tang Wulin at the sight of his smile.
Right at this moment, the Spirit Sovereign's eyes suddenly transformed into a pair of golden vortexes that released immense suction force.
This was his soul devouring ability!
Two of the Spirit Pagoda's powerful beings that were situated quite close to him both groaned in unison, and a wisp of white mist surged out of the tops of their heads, following which they instantly disintegrated into nothingness. Not only that, but all of the humans on the battlefield within a radius of around a kilometer also disappeared in the same manner. The wisps of white mist surged directly into the Spirit Sovereign's body, and Gu Yuena's expression changed slightly upon seeing this as a rainbow tinge suddenly appeared in the silver light that was radiating from her body.
She pointed her Silver Dragon Spear directly toward the Spirit Sovereign, then shot forth toward him like a speeding arrow.
”Slaughter to your heart's content, my children!”
The Spirit Sovereign smiled as he stepped forward to meet Gu Yuena, and the abyssal army that was bowing in reverence just a moment ago immediately charged toward the human army again, as if they had been given shots of strong stimulants.
